Full Description
During the geophysical survey which was undertaken on land immediately to the south of Watling Street (A2) at Swanscombe, group of linear features were identified in the north east corner of the field. The first was approximately 14m x 3m and may be a ditch feature, however given its fragmentation this may also be an alignment of pits. The second is approximately 22m x 2m and is likely a short length of a ditch feature. The third feature consists of A group of weak magnetic anomalies that appear to show another fragmented linear. feature approximately 30m x 2m. Again, given the fragmentation of the responses this maybe a ditch or alignment of pit-like features. All three features area aligned approximately east west and may be related to one another forming small areas of enclosure. Given the archaeological background of the area, it is highly likely that these features identified are of Romano-British origin, however this is only a speculative date. (1)
